Harvard University has a bunch of implicit association tests (IAT's) that you can take online.
If you're unfamiliar with IAT's, here's how they work:
1. You're shown images, one at a time.
2. You're shown overtly positive or negative words, along with the images.
3. You tap a button to identify the image and the word it's paired with.
4. The program monitors your reaction time.
The fun part:
The images will come from two distinct groups, ie black/white people, religious/secular, American/foreign, etc.
If you are able to more quickly associate the positive words with one image type, compared to the other, the idea is that you have a more positive association with that particular group. The opposite is true as well. If you can more quickly associate negative words with a particular image set (let's say "foreigners"), the hypothesis is that you have a more negative connotation of that particular group.
Here's more information on IAT's:

Take one of the tests (if you'd like).
Share your results (if you'd like).
I'll share two of mine:
I took the Race IAT - It says I have no automatic preference for black vs. white people.
I took the Disability IAT - It says I have a strong automatic preference for images representing abled people vs. disabled people.
